A crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, deafening. For people at this time, the sound of firecrackers was so pleasant, joyful and full of expectations.

Liao Shenggong, Li Tingzhi, Wen Tianxiang, Gao Da, Liu Hezi, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue, Chen Yizhong, Lu Xiufu, Zhao Liangchun, Zhao Qian, Jie Jin, Zheng Jinghe, Huang Shengcai and other civil and military ministers, as well as the ministers standing aside to watch, all looked expectant, as if they were expecting the legendary magical object to appear.

Today is the day when the Royal Military Academy of the Song Dynasty was established. This new thing was the first time that it was visited by the Song Dynasty. They both felt it was new and curious, so they were naturally looking forward to it.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Li Jun grabbed a big red silk. There was a big red flower on the big red silk, giving people joy. With a pull, the big red silk floated down. The plaque of "Royal Military Academy of the Song Dynasty" written by Li Jun was exposed, and a cheer sounded. The people attending the ceremony couldn't help but use this method to express their good mood.

Li Jun's brush calligraphy is well written. After coming to this world, he has no pen and has to comment on many memorials every day. Over the past year, brush calligraphy is even more extraordinary. Every stroke and stroke is a masterpiece. These words give people a feeling of leaping and flying, like a flying dragon, which is about to fly away at any time. Li Tingzhi and Wen Tianxiang, who are extremely accomplished in calligraphy, couldn't help but praise him.

Li Jun was not a person who liked to be extravagant, but this was the first military academy in the Southern Song Dynasty in the true sense, and its significance was extraordinary. It was just because it was established in this period, so it decided to hold a brief and grand listing ceremony.

Those who participated in the listing ceremony were civil officials and military generals who could well implement Li Jun's intentions, as well as the first batch of students and instructors. These students were mainly elites selected from the Jiangnan Army, Huaixi Army, Huaidong Army and Sichuan Army. Everyone was an excellent officer who had experienced many battles, dared to fight and had a flexible mind. Li Jun hoped that they would study in the Military Academy for a period of time, improve their quality to a higher level, and better adapt to the war.

In addition to these students, there were a group of special students, which were a group of children, ages eleven or twelve, with a total of nearly 300 people. These were smart boys selected from all over the country. Li Jun decided to start with the baby, first teach them scientific and technological knowledge, military history, teach them to read and write, and then receive moderate military training. When they grow up, they are already a soldier with many years of military experience, and there are definitely many outstanding ones among them.

Li Jun was not a militant, but he knew the importance of maintaining the martial spirit. If a nation wants to survive and to be strong, the martial spirit must not be abandoned. It must be maintained. In the Southern Song Dynasty, a weak dynasty that has been more than 200 years old, the people's spirit needs to be improved, and the martial spirit must also be promoted. Li Jun hopes to recruit children to study in the Military Academy to play a role, and also train a group of reserve officers. Of course, this is the first batch, and a group of people will be recruited every year in the future.

The instructor gave Li Jun a headache. You can imagine how difficult it would be to suddenly set up a military academy in the poor and careless Southern Song Dynasty. The main reason is not that there are no students, but that there are no suitable instructors. Regarding this problem, Li Jun is not that he has no choice. His method is very simple. He is to select elites with flexible thinking from the entire army and from the General Staff Headquarters to be able to accept new things as instructors. They have rich combat experience and teach their experience to the students. The results are naturally good.

However, this still cannot meet Li Jun's requirements, because the Southern Song army is now in a period of change, and has been equipped with a large number of artillery, and the new cavalry unit is also being formed. The entire strategic and tactical theory will change. If they are limited to experience, they will be limited to empiricism, which will be bad. It is precisely based on this consideration that Li Jun brought Liao Shenggong and asked him to take the lead. Li Tingzhi, Zheng Jinghe and Liu Hezi were the members, and Gundam, Zhang Shijie and Zhang Jue and others formed a textbook writing group to compile a textbook that could meet the requirements.

Liao Shenggong, Li Tingzhi, Liu Hezi and Zheng Jinghe are very good at grasping the context of the times and have a strong ability to adapt to the situation. In particular, Li Jun has to admire the teaching materials compiled by the four of them, including Gundam, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue and others, no matter how bad the textbooks are, they will not be much worse.

Facts have proved that this combination is a very efficient and forward-looking combination. The textbooks they compiled were very good and well guided the subsequent wars of the Southern Song Dynasty.

With the textbooks, we should train these instructors first, and then give lectures to the students.

That's it, the instructors are still short of and cannot meet the requirements. In addition to asking them to work hard, they can only need Gundam, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue, Zheng Jinghe, Liu Hezi, Li Tingzhi, Liao Shenggong, Huang Han and others either go to the forum or lead an academy and a department, and contribute to the construction of this first military academy in Chinese history.

Now, except for military operations in Huaixi, Huaidong, Sichuan, military operations in other places have not yet been launched. The reason is that the Song army is replacing equipment on a large scale and conducting training to prepare for the five-way attack proposed by Li Jun. This will have a two- or three-month calm period, and it would be better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to improve the level of officers.

There was a small episode before this, I have to say.

Reform means to overthrow old things and build new things, which will inevitably touch the interests of the old schools. Therefore, reform will always be criticized and vilified by conservatives. The famous Shang Yang's reform was so great that it was unimaginable that the prince at that time, and later King Huiwen of Qin took the lead in opposing him. Shang Yang had no choice but to cut off the nose of the prince's master, and the prince dared not object anymore. Interestingly, when King Huiwen of Qin ascended the throne, he did not change Shang Yang's law, and Qin State was able to continue to be strong. This is also an important reason for Shang Yang's killing.

There were many people gossiping about this reform led by Li Jun, and some censors came to advise and obstruct Li Jun, asking him to "keep the laws of his ancestors" and not learn from Wang Anshi's many changes. He even made a big statement and concluded that "this is a sign of the destruction of the country." Among them, a censor named Fang Zhengtao gathered a group of censors and carried a coffin to persuade him to death, intending that if Li Jun did not agree to take back Cheng's life, they would kneel to death.

Although there are many loyal and upright censors in all dynasties, many people have become famous by admonitions. Li Jun knows the power of it, and it is very troublesome to be killed by such people.

Li Jun initially advised them with kind words, reasoning for them, asking them to adapt to the needs of the times and move with the world, but they refused to let go and insisted on showing a stance of admonition to the end. Li Jun asked someone to send them food and drinks, but they did not eat or drink, and decided to hold on to the end.

At this time, Li Jun decided to change his strategy and said to them: "You are eight people in total, and only one coffin is given to whom? I will give you a coffin each, or a mahogany person, so that you will not be wronged after your death." He immediately asked the eunuch to go to the coffin shop and bought seven coffins. He put them in front of them. Li Jun said to them: "If you want to kneel down, kneel to the end, no food or drink. Please listen to me, you must hold on. Those who fall to the ground will be held in the coffin and carried it to the mass grave. Just bury it." With a wave of his hand, Duan Ganmu led a team of guards, intending to carry out Li Jun's orders meticulously.

These censors are really amazing. They have the legacy of ancient people. They kneeled for two days and two nights. They were all straight and did not fall down. Li Jun had to admire their perseverance. However, Li Jun's admiration soon disappeared. On the morning of the third day, Li Jun received a report from Duan Ganmu, saying that these censors had sneaked away when it was dark the night before.

Li Jun, who received the news, wanted to laugh and thought to himself: "The power of the coffin is too great. He actually scared away these censors who are not afraid of death." This is easy to understand. These censors must have been unable to hold on anymore and ran away secretly. Otherwise, they fainted and nailed Duan Ganmu and the others into the coffin and buried them alive. Wouldn't that be a big deal?

From then on, no one dared to dissuade Li Jun from carrying out reforms. Li Jun encountered much less resistance to vigorously implementing his reform plan. The first thing included in Li Jun’s reform plan was to improve the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty again. This military academy would naturally be established first, and school would be opened soon to train officers.

Li Jun turned around, and the students in front of him began to speak, saying, "Dear students, instructors: I officially announced the establishment of the Royal Military Academy of the Song Dynasty!" His words interrupted the warm applause, and the applause was so warm that it could be heard as long as it was not a cold-blooded animal.

It is no wonder that since Li Jun came to this world, he has promoted the great changes in the Southern Song Dynasty and created a situation of revival for the Southern Song Dynasty. Although the road is still long, the current Southern Song Dynasty, whether it is the common people, ministers in the court, or soldiers, can say proudly: "The Song Dynasty has hope!"

It is already a glorious thing to be able to look at Li Jun and listen to his speech, not to mention that Li Jun's voice is magnetic, powerful, and very exciting, so they can't help but applaud. If they follow the original etiquette, they should shout long live the mountain and kowtow a few more times. Li Jun was very disgusted with asking people to bow down to the mountain and shout long live the mountain, so they asked them to applaud. Unexpectedly, the ministers actually fell in love with this quick and easy way of expression. Maybe they were afraid of knee pain!

After the applause stopped, Li Jun looked at the people with joy on his face and continued: "In this happy moment, I only have one sentence for everyone, that is, I hope that all students will study hard here, improve their level, and make contributions to the Song Dynasty! To make contributions to China!"

If someone who likes to speak loudly at this time will definitely make a long and comprehensive explanation. Li Jun is a pragmatic person. He has always believed that instead of taking up other people's time, it is better to simply make a reservation, make a long story short, and give the soldiers more time to learn. In this way, the effect is countless times better than empty talk.

Although the words are short, their effect is very obvious, which is louder than the warmer applause just now, and there is also a shocking sound of long live.

A red sun is climbing to the top of his head, spreading his warmth and light to the world. The future of the Song Dynasty will inevitably be beautiful, as it is at its peak!

"Okay, okay! That's great! It's amazing! It's incredible!" Such a unique cheer came from the mouths of Li Tingzhi, Wen Tianxiang, Liao Shenggong, Liu Hezi, Zheng Jinghe, Gao Da, Zhang Jue, Zhang Shijie, Chen Yizhong, Lu Xiufu, and Huang Yongshan. All of these civil and military ministers are well-informed and knowledgeable people who have experienced great storms in their lives. They take things seriously and will not applaud them. They still shouted so excitedly, as if gold fell from the sky.

It's no wonder that Li Jun is performing a unique skill. It is just for the ancients and for us modern people, that is a very common thing. As long as people with no problems with their hands and feet, they will do something: riding a bicycle.

Li Jun was riding a newly produced new bicycle, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes on the flat ground, sometimes flying over the stone, sometimes moving forward smoothly, sometimes lifting the dragon head and flying up. China is known as the kingdom of bicycles, according to statistics, there are hundreds of millions of bicycles. I remember that it would be a very proud thing to have a bicycle in the 1970s and 1980s. Li Jun naturally rode bicycles a lot, and his skills were very good. Of course, he was willing to let go of his hands and feet. It would be strange if he didn't scare Li Tingzhi and the others.

For these ancients, it was really a bit unimaginable to run with two wheels. In ancient times, although there were many imaginary things, someone once dreamed of flying like a bird and made bird wings, but it ended up hurting when they fell. Li Jun's superb performance was so exquisite that they wouldn't be happy. Who told Li Jun to stage another magical scene?

Li Jun stopped suddenly, and stopped as soon as he said he would stop, without any signs. Li Tingzhi and the others were cheering again. For them, bicycles were really amazing, and being able to run was enough to surprise them. Li Jun stopped as soon as he said he stopped, as if he was riding a fast horse and suddenly stopped. It was difficult to do without excellent skills. This was their idea, and he couldn't help but applaud.

Their voices are indeed a bit difficult to say. In modern society, they catch a person on the streets and ride them no less than Li Jun. At least they can stop by a sudden stop. This cannot be said that the ancients were not wise, it can only be because this thing is too novel.

"No, good, very good, strong, easy to ride." Li Jun praised.

As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, Huang Yongshan's praise sounded: "The emperor is really amazing. He rode so well, almost like riding a horse. I dared to ride a moment, but fell heavily."

Gundam patted his shoulder and asked, "Boy, did the green bag on your face fall off by riding a bicycle? What is a bicycle? That is an amazing good thing. Only the emperor can ride it. You kid ridden it secretly and didn't break it. It's considered God's kindness."

There must be many people who learn to ride a bicycle and fall down. I am one of them. Huang Yongshan doesn’t know the tricks and there are those who don’t suffer any losses. The big green bag on his forehead is the best reward.

He could really say that bicycles, such as ordinary things in modern society, were actually said to him as great good things, and only Li Jun could ride them? If, according to his words, could he bear the hundreds of millions of bicycles in China, only Li Jun could ride them?

If it weren't for the only one in front of so many people, Li Jun would have laughed, pursed his lips tightly and said, "General Gao, don't talk nonsense, of course everyone can ride this bicycle."

"Really?" Gundam was a little unbelievable, and stared at Li Jun with wide eyes and asked. Looking at his appearance, Li Jun knew that he was eager to try. Li Jun naturally couldn't bear to ignore this friend who was in a mental state and said, "General Gao is here to try it."

Gundam was waiting for Li Jun's words, and his eyes turned green with excitement. He even forgot about Xie En. He took the dragon head from Li Jun, imitated Li Jun's posture of getting on the bicycle, and raised his right leg and rode on it. Unfortunately, he swayed and almost fell to the ground. He was shocked and said, "No, no."

Li Jun helped him and said, "It doesn't matter if you ride it. I'll support you. You have to master the balance. Your waist should be straight, straight, and not biased." This is the secret to riding a bicycle. Although Gundam has never ridden it, he is smarter and can't help but pedaling. He pedaled like Li Jun. The bicycle actually moved forward. He couldn't help but shouted: "It's done!"

"If I hadn't helped you, you would have fallen." Li Jun smiled in his heart with his optimism and encouraged him: "Good, go ahead." With Li Jun's encouragement, Gao Da rode for a while before he got off and expressed his feelings with satisfaction: "I can ride a bicycle in this life, so why would I regret even if I die!"

His words made people squirt, and Li Jun couldn't help it anymore. He burst out laughing and said, "General Gao, look at what you said." When he saw Li Tingzhi and the others were right in their eyes, they could not laugh anymore. They said, "Although this bicycle is physically exhausting and not as convenient as riding a horse, it is also a very good tool." He said to Huang Yongshan: "Build 100,000 vehicles first."

Li Jun really knew how to speak a lion, and when he opened his mouth, he could see 100,000 vehicles. It was really scary. Huang Yongshan was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, do you want so many?"

"Do you think there are too many? There will be more in the future, one million vehicles, ten million vehicles, it depends on how you build it." Li Jun hit Huang Yongshan a little and said a big talk.

Why did Li Jun speak loudly? Huang Yongshan, a scientist, was a little confused and asked curiously: "Master, why is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Han's words made him find the answer and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good tool for infantry. Making a basket behind can put equipment, food, and weapons on it. It can save a lot of physical strength when marching. The infantry's propulsion speed can be greatly improved, and its maneuverability can be increased several times at once."

Li Tingzhi continued his words and said: "This bicycle is also very useful among the people. If ordinary people use bicycles to transport things, it will be convenient and easy to carry. The carrying capacity is quite large. It is much more efficient than carrying people on their shoulders. It is indeed a very good tool."

"The wisdom of the ancients is really unspeakable, it's very high." Li Jun praised the views of Li Tingzhi and Huang Han in his heart. As Huang Han said, if infantrymen were equipped with bicycles, the infantry's marching ability and maneuverability would be greatly improved, and their supply capacity would be stronger, and they could fight for longer periods of time.

Equipping the army with bicycles has been verified by history, so there is naturally no difficulty. Fang Mao and the others brought the rubber back, and Li Jun handed it over to Chen Bi to make rubber, which was also considered that it was an important industrial raw material and would be easy to use in the future. Li Jun naturally knew about the production technology of rubber. When he told Chen Bi, he, a great scientist, quickly understood and it was built soon.

The rubber was produced, and Li Jun did not expect to equip the Southern Song army with bicycles. When discussing with Liao Shenggong and others how to improve the mobility of the Southern Song army, Gundam advocated building more cavalry, and the mobility of the cavalry was nothing to say, but the cavalry also needed infantry to cover and provide support. How to solve the coordination between infantry and cavalry, and to improve the mobility of infantry and cavalry, it became a problem.

Li Jun thought of this method when he had a clever idea and told Liao Shenggong and others that he had a way to increase the maneuverability of the Southern Song army several times. Liao Shenggong and others were so worried that they could not help that they would be happy when they heard Li Jun's words. Li Jun drew a drawing, found Huang Yongshan, and explained it to him. Huang Yongshan was a great scientist, and he knew technology very well and could understand it at a glance. It would be natural that there would be no problem for him to create it.

For Huang Yongshan at this time, he had become a nouveau riche since he had a machine tool and a steam engine. Based on these two tools, he developed a series of tools for him. It was not a piece of cake to make a bicycle. It was built in just ten days. He reported the news to Li Jun, who was about to come for acceptance, but he didn't expect that the good news spread like wildfire. Liao Shenggong and the others actually took a break from their busy schedule to watch, which led to the above drama.

In ancient times, there were no vehicles such as transportation tools. If there were bicycles, the convenience it brought to the people was indeed immeasurable. Its economic value was very high. Li Tingzhi had a keen eye and could see through the benefits at first glance.
